Destination Location
LITTLE GORE CANYON (1 - 4 days)
23 to 65 miles Class I to Class III
Run the Colorado River near its source. With its headwater just a few miles upstream among the mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park, this is one of the first boatable sections of the river. Little Gore Canyon features clear water and mild yet exciting whitewater that can be enjoyed in rafts, kayaks, canoes and inflatable kayaks. This is an excellent trip for the entire family. The put in point is an easy three hour drive west of Denver near Kremmling, Colorado. This proximity to a large metropolitan area and airport makes this trip one of the top choices for beginners and old hands alike lookint for a ride on the upper sections of the mighty Colorado river. This is one of the west's major rivers providing the drainage system for 1/2 of the continental United States over its 1,400 mile length. These upper sections also offer decent trout fishing for those that would like to bring a pole along.
